When it comes to beauty, I think that most of us have our own idea of what is beautiful and what is not. We tend to have those preconceived ideas from the time we are very young but they are also shaped over the course of time as well. In many cases, it has to do with what we see in the movies, on television, in magazines, and on the Internet. There is an entire culture that surrounds beauty and the powers that be would like to fit us into the same mold. Every once in a while, however, some people break free from the mold and do something that is going against the grain.
One of the trends that is gaining at least a little bit of popularity is in regards to body hair. For men, growing body hair is really nothing new and the only trend associated with it often has to do with whether a man grows a beard or not. For women, however, choosing to avoid shaving their armpits or their legs can really make them stand out as being different. After all, the practice of shaving body hair traces back thousands of years but in modern years, some women have stepped out of the mold and done something interesting.
Many women feel as if they are being pressured to remove their body hair. In some cases, it can present an uncomfortable situation, as is the case when a woman waxes her legs. It is also something that women tend to pass down to their children, but a few women, some of which are well-known celebrities, are growing their body hair and changing people’s perception of beauty standards.
In the end, it’s really a personal decision as to whether you are going to remove your body hair or allow it to grow. We really shouldn’t allow ourselves to be molded by those who would like us to fit into a neat package. That being said, if you do decide to go against the trend, you should also be prepared to stand out.
